The article analyzes the problems associated with the application of foreign civil procedure norms in the settlement of disputes in international civil procedure. The tendency to apply foreign civil procedural norms has appeared in judicial practice relatively recently, however, at present, reference to foreign procedural law is enshrined in most national and international legal acts on private international law and international civil procedure. This creates the problem of identifying a special category of conflict of laws — procedural conflict of laws rules, the problem of defining their concept and structure (including rules on conflict of jurisdiction resolution).
The purpose of the study is to show that in private international law and international civil procedure there is a special category of norms prescribing the application of foreign civil procedure law, i.e. procedural conflict of laws rules. The purpose of the study is to show that the application of the procedural law of the country of the court in modern international civil procedure should be positioned not as a procedural imperative, but as a general conflict of laws binding. To solve the tasks set, the relevant norms of national laws and international legal acts, as well as examples from judicial practice, are considered. A brief overview of the doctrinal views concerning the problem under consideration is given.
